These are false positive detections. Unfortunately, false positive detections are a never ending problem. False detections like these were reported many times by users. Here's one of the recent discussions about it, one of dozens: https://ramensoftware.com/7-taskbar-tweaker/comment-page-51#comment-13213
Windhawk injects code into other programs, and antiviruses often find it suspicious. The "Malware" label is grossly wrong, but it's unfortunately common for antiviruses to incorrectly detect software which is not very popular as malicious.
FWIW the latest Windhawk version has one detection: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/fb1ecc8b6eeebda10fa06c1c5dce004e53ff17288929c0e77a0daaa384d2edf4
You can help by reporting Windhawk as a false positive to the relevant antivirus companies. Other than that, there's not much that can be done, so I'm closing this issue.
